Based on the debut novel The Othello Club by J.D. Pennington, the series follows six strangers brought together by a divorce support group who quickly transform from therapy-seeking victims into architects of retribution. With little in common beyond their pain, they form an unlikely bond. What begins as a cathartic outlet quickly spirals into something far more dangerous.
A dangerous game, full of traps. A dispute of power, money and desire. On one side of the board, delegate Giovanna Torres, on the other, the wife of a businessman, Maya Manoela. In this game, only one will fall. Who will give Checkmate?
